The best kind of fools are the ones that are in a king’s court. I’m talking about the ones who are willing to act foolish to teach the controllers a lesson by downing themselves so the powerful think the fool’s thoughts are from their own egos.

The presidents, the prime ministers, the rulers, the kings, the élite, the puppet masters, and/or the controllers, of course, are dependent on our “foolish” understanding. Astoundingly, and even worse – often necessarily, they think our ideas are their great ideas once we impart these thoughts to them properly, simply because their massive egos won’t allow them to accept that good ideas came from other people, only from themselves. That is, unless they live in fear or love of those above or below them, in which case they obey or consider. The better way is obvious, give it, don’t take it.

Of course, the reality is there is no station and there is no train. We’re all peers in this tragic comedy called life. That’s why the “powerful” are the real fools in the end.

If anyone is currently telling you they are wise or telling you that they have some wisdom on a subject for you (of their own), they are currently not being wise. I am certainly guilty of this myself as well, perhaps even now. That doesn’t mean the self-proclaimed “wisdom” people have to say isn’t valuable to you necessarily. It does mean that their definition of the world isn’t the same as mine, and I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on it:

My definition is different from any dictionary’s definition. I will specify my definition: Wisdom is more about knowing what you don’t know than it is about knowing about what you do know.

I will cite a source to back up my opinion on this matter from a perhaps fictional character (a well-known fact is that he may have never lived and been a character Plato invented) that said what I assert are many wise things: “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” Socrates: (Plato’s Apology)
